Reviewing Current Access Point Policies
The Access Point Policies options allow you to define how new APs are detected and approved for use in
WLAN coverage, as well as policies on client distribution and communicating with the NXA-WAPZD1000.
These policies are enforced on all APs managed by the NXA-WAPZD1000 unless a specific WLAN setting
overrides them. For example, if you want to enable Load Balancing for most APs but disable it on specific
WLANs, you would enable it in the Access Point Policies section, then disable it for the particular WLAN
from the Configure > WLANs page.
To review and revise the general AP policies:
1.
Go to Configure > Access Points.
2.
Review the current settings in Access Point Policies. You can change the following settings:

Approval: This is enabled by default, which means that all join requests from any AP will be
approved automatically. If you want to manually review and approve the joining of new APs to the
WLAN, clear this check box.

Limited ZD Discovery: If you have multiple NXA-WAPZD1000 devices on the network and want
specific APs to join specific NXA-WAPZD1000s, you can limit NXA-WAPZD1000 discovery. To
do this, select the Limited ZD Discovery check box, and then enter the IP addresses of the primary
and secondary NXA-WAPZD1000 units to which you want APs to join.
When Limited ZD Discovery is enabled, APs will first attempt to join the primary NXA-
WAPZD1000. If they cannot find or are unable to join the primary NXA-WAPZD1000, they will
attempt to join the secondary device. If still unsuccessful, APs will stop attempting for a brief
period of time, and then they will restart the joining process. They will repeat this process until they
successfully join either the primary or secondary NXA-WAPZD1000.
If you have two NXA-WAPZD1000s in a Smart Redundancy configuration on your network, you
can enter the primary and secondary ZD IP addresses here, or you can leave Limited ZD Discovery
disabled. If the Limited ZD Discovery and Smart Redundancy information you enter is inconsistent,
a warning message will be displayed asking you to confirm.

Management VLAN: You can enable the NXA-WAPZD1000 management VLAN if you want to
separate management traffic from regular network traffic. The following options are available:
Keep AP's setting: Click this option if you want to preserve the Management VLAN settings as
configured on the AP. Note that Management VLAN on the AP is disabled by default.
Disable: Click this option if you want to disable the Management VLAN. If the Management
VLAN is enabled on the AP, it will be disabled the next time the AP is provisioned by the NXA-
WAPZD1000.
Enable with VLAN ID: If you want to enable the Management VLAN on all APs managed by this
NXA-WAPZD1000, click this option, and then type the management VLAN ID (must be
configured on the switch/router).

Load Balancing: Balances the number of clients across adjacent APs.

Max Clients: If you want to guarantee wireless connections to all clients, you can limit the number
of wireless clients that each AP (or radio, on dual radio APs) will manage.
Use Monitoring > Map View to place the marker icons of any newly approved APs.
If you have two NXA-WAPZD1000s of the same model and license level, using the
Smart Redundancy feature is recommended. If you have two devices of different
license levels, you can use Limited ZD Discovery to provide limited redundancy;
however, this method does not provide synchronization of the user database. For
information on Smart Redundancy configuration, please refer to the Enabling Smart
Redundancy
section on page 17 .
If you click Enable with VLAN ID , you also need to set the Management VLAN ID that
the NXA-WAPZD1000 needs to use on the Configure > System Settings page.
Otherwise, the NXA-WAPZD1000 and the APs will be unable to communicate via the
Management VLAN.
